Hello lovely Tumblr folk! It’s that time again- I have a giveaway for you all. My last giveaway was a huge collection of crystals, but this time I wanted to try something new and have two smaller (but super nice) items! :) 

I sell my jewelry and crystals in my shop.

What you get:

The pictured labradorite and black opal (natural Australian Lightning Ridge black opal) skull necklace. It’s pictured in shiny copper with a 14k rose gold filled chain, however if the winner wishes, I can darken it and use a darkened copper chain. 

A high quality, super detailed carved labradorite seahorse. 

Together, these have a retail value of about $300

‘’Crystal Star’’

A dead jackdaw..

I know it’s a natural reaction of humans to be repulsive by death..but I’ve always had a fascination for this ever since I was a kid and I’m exploring this fascination…

I see beauty in certain things that are hard to explain, even for myself…but I know that beyond the sadness there is a certain beauty in death, that I’m trying to show in my works.

I know this means not everyone will like my work, but at least, I can somehow try to make at least someone look at this in a different way than they are used to…for me death is part of nature, part of life..eventually everything will die, but nothing will ever be wasted..
